In The Biotech Century, bestselling author Jeremy Rifkin examines the emerging biotech revolution that has captured the world's attention. Biochips, cloning, and genetic mapping and engineering are among the new biotechnologies that are allowing scientists to redirect the evolutionary wisdom of millions of years of life on earth. These technologies offer a cornucopia of potential benefits in fields ranging from agriculture to medicine, but very troubling issues are being disregarded, denied, and overlooked by both the scientific community and the media. In a state-of-the-art account of what is currently possible, what is being developed, what is being imagined, and the potential repercussions, Rifkin provides an opinion that is not generally expressed in the ebullient reports given to the public. He examines how these discoveries will fundamentally transform our economic systems and our civilization. The Biotech Century is a fascinating portrait of the new era in economics, science, and technology upon us and is certain to become a standard reference source on biotechnology.
